Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Thursday Night Throwdown! @ 10pm ET!

I'll work on it again on Thursday. I have a ton of stuff to edit and making all these changes is taking me away from that.

 

I was trying to outline the text to make it easier to view since the gradient alone will make the words hard to see without it. But I don't want the outline to overpower everything. Just enough to see but not enough to blot it out. A middle ground.

 

It's just hard to do within paint.net since you need to use all these effects AFAIK to accomplish that. It's looked a bit ugly the times I tried.

I got some plugins for paint.net so I was able to get outlines for the words.

 

The idea that I came up with was inverting the red used for Ninfora for the light blue color of Thursday Night Throwdown. I outlined it in black and have a darker rainbow gradient behind that. This is the result.

I'm able to change the main color of Thursday Night Throwdown if this isn't to anyone's liking.

I dig it! TNT has an 80’s vibe with the colors, outline, and font. 😎 As for “Ninfora” I like the first one best. The second one is too dark. 

 

Oh, BTW, the gradient outline isn’t that noticeable when looking at the smaller thumbnail size (336 x 188). Maybe bump it up by 1 or 2..? Just a quick suggestion.

 

EDIT:

 

Just testing things out really quick (gradient outline size wise)...

Something like might be good....

First my internet decides to f-up, right when the tourney starts. Then Bowser decides to trip over "The Cord" (Didn't you learn anything from Iwata and Reggie?) and most of us get DC'd. Then I keep getting slammed with items. ksad;

 

Despite all that, I still had fun. Good races! :)
